Dear Dr. Jost Turkish Chemical Society has been founded in 1919 in Istanbul. At present, it has more than 2000 members who are chemists, chemistry teachers and chemical engineers. Our society has organized various national and international conferences. 35th IUPAC Congress , 18th ICCE and 9 th ECRICE were some of the important meetings organized by Turkish Chemical Society with very successful outcomes. We would like to announce that we are keenly interested in hosting the IUPAC General Assembly and Congress in 2013. Turkish Chemical Society accepts complete financial responsibility for both the Congress and the General Assembly. We are proud of being able to provide all the facilities needed for the IUPAC General Assembly and Congress listed by IUPAC. We can also guarantee to organize the IUPAC General Assembly and the Congress from the plenary session to the closing ceremonies using the latest technology. We have selected the general Conference theme as “BETTER AND CLEANER ENERGY THROUGH CHEMISTRY” Istanbul has many conference and exhibition areas. Because of the better, more centralized location and more accommodation alternatives, we believe that the Conference Valley in Istanbul would be the best choice for IUPAC General Assembly and Congress. This district combines leading international and Turkish 3-, 4- and 5-star hotels within walking distance from the Conference Valley. Our choice in the Congress Valley is the Hilton Hotel& Exhibition Center. The capacities and sizes of the meeting rooms are given below: HILTON HOTEL CONVENTION & EXHIBITION CENTER Meeting Room Capacity Area in m2 Convention Upper Hall 1500 1344 Convention Lower Hall Section 1 400 464 Convention Lower Hall Section 2 450 544 Convention Lower Hall Section 3 400 470 Ballroom 1 180 253 Ballroom 2 180 268 Ballroom 3 70 84 Sadirvan A 250 346 Sadirvan B 300 347 Altin Kubbe 200 408 Sedir 75 93 Fatih 1 40 80 Fatih 2 80 100 Mercury 1 40 45 Mercury 2 30 35 Mercury 3 30 35 Saturn 60 85 Neptune 50 98 Jupiter 70 99 Venus 12 34 Hyde Park 20 48 Central Park 10 28 Macka Park 20 59 Orman Park 30 46 Except all these meeting rooms, Hilton also offers 3 garden areas for opening or banquet. Since it is going to be a nice summer period for Istanbul, the garden areas will be used for many purposes such as opening, coffee breaks, lunches and banquet dinner.

Venus and central park can be used for secretariat and IUPAC officers.The Hilton Hotel ‘ll aso provide some additional rooms(bigger than 30 m2 , at least 5 rooms) for secretariat and IUPAC officers. Convention Lower Hall Section 2 will be used for poster sessions. Convention Lower Hall Section 3 can also be be used for exhibition. The rest of the rooms in Hilton Hotel& Exhibition Center such as Ballrooms1,2,3 and Sadirvan A,B and Altin Kubbe can be used for the parallel session in the Conference. As you can see the number and sizes of the meeting rooms are suitable to host IUPAC General Assembly and the Congress. Besides, latest technology, internet access, computer facilities and space for IUPAC secretariat and offices for IUPAC officers are also available. In addition to that, using the latest technology we will also provide online registration system, online abstract and poster application system and self registration system for IUPAC General Assembly and the Congress. Participants attending the IUPAC General Assembly and Congress in 2011 will be offered a wide range of accommodation from 5 star hotels to dormitories. Istanbul is a cultural, dynamic and modern city and set squarely between two continents. Istanbul has also cultures and traditions that blend East with the West and Mediterranean with Anatolian. With one foot in Europe and another in Asia, vibrant atmosphere rooted in history while facing toward the future, Istanbul is truly as much a crossroad of ideas and cultures today as ever. Each civilization that has made its home in Istanbul has left its mark in some way. Istanbul’s outstanding infrastructure, including modern, luxurious accommodation, state-of-the-art conference and exhibition venues and experienced conference professionals, makes it a logical choice for meeting. When combined with the city’s fabulous history and stunning natural beauty, not to mention cultural riches, exciting shopping, sophisticated night life and world-class dinning, it is not hard to figure out why top international associations choose Istanbul.
